Auchenflower

Updated: Jun 08, 2025

Salud is a stunning cafe bar in an historic Auchenflower shop, serving up delectable food with a Latin American and Spanish flavour, and on weekend evenings, tapas and bar drinks.

Owner Vince hails from San Francisco and he has brought the kind of menu you would find in such an establishment in California to the leafy inner western suburb. 

Interior of Salud Auchenflower

As well as the stools out front, diners can take a seat in the gorgeous light-filled interior, which retains much of its Queenslander character, with polished timber floors, original windows and VJ walls, and along one side a counter and bar.

There is also plenty of seating available in the shady back garden, which feels just like being at someone's home and is the perfect spot for a leisurely brunch.

On the all day menu are lighter breakfast dishes like Abuela's bread pudding (homemade cinnamon spiced almond bread pudding, roasted fruits & chocolate caramel sauce); and guac on toast (with a Latin twist - avo toast, chimichurri sauce, poached eggs, pickled onions & toasted sourdough).

From the drinks menu, as well as the excellent coffee (including cold brew), turmeric, matcha or chai lattes, hot chocolate, smoothies and assorted teas, must-try are the housemade specialties - salud horchata (iced cinnamon rice and almond milk); salud yerba mate iced tea; ginger turmeric kombucha and orange or strawberry juice.
